'Cloud Atlas'

Directed by Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer and Andy Wachowski In Toronto, few films split audiences and critics down the middle and sideways like this sprawling adaptation of the David Mitchell novel, set in six different time periods, in intertwining tales of redemption, revolution and the ripple effect of a good deed. All that, plus the apocalypse! And a feel-good ending. Tom Hanks and Halle Berry, among others, play many parts.
